Ellen's Tour Exhibition and Artist Talk
This summer, the School Street Gallery Space (13 School Street, Alma) will host its first traveling exhibition from AX Arts and Culture Center of Sussex. Ellen’s Tour, curated by Bonny Hill, celebrates the life of Ellen Watters, the 1 meter rule, and women in sport. The show features the work of Nat Cann, Gerry Collins, Bonny Hill, I-Chun Jenkins, Heather McCaig, ReBecca Paterson, Yulia Porkhun, and Julie Whitenect. The exhibition will be arriving in the last week of July, with a vernissage on July 30th at 6pm.
Seafaring Art Exhibition
From August 5th until September 5th, The Friends of Fundy will be hosting the exhibition Seafaring. Featuring works by eight emerging artists with connections to the Bay of Fundy, Seafaring frames the organization’s programming mission to explore the local environment and community’s relationship to climate, rurality and artistic practices. Drawing inspiration from the site’s storied past as the former home of North America’s first female sea captain, the exhibition will explore knowledge shared through creating, the cyclical nature of rural life, and gender representation in industry. Curated by Chloe Lundrigan. The vernissage will take place August 5th at 7pm in the Molly Kool Heritage Center. All are welcome to attend. Give us a follow on Facebook @fundyfriends and @RisingTide for details on upcoming events.
